Image of the Virgin carved in wood, with remains of polychromy, that was forming part of a group of the Descendent from the Cross, probably constituted by seven figures: Christ, the Virgin, John the Evangelist, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and two thieves. Standing in her feet, she might support Christ's right arm with her left hand, whereas, with the right arm she was gathering the blood up from the wounds of the crucified with a kind of receptacle.
